Me and my brother had dog packs back in the 70s and 80s and did a lot of cougar and bear hunting here in utah. Cougars are extremely smart they can hear and see and smell probably better than most critters. It still possible to call one but you’re gonna have to go all out camouflage, face paint, cat scent, the whole 9 yards if you’re going to get one close. If not they’ll come in because they’re curious but you’ll never see them. We had the best luck with a mouse squealer and believe it or not a woodpecker call. Jack rabbit call will work to if people in your area have not overused It a lot. The cougars here will shrill like a woman getting strangled after dark with that echoing off the canyon walls it will definitely send shivers up your spine. This is just been my experience I’m an old guy maybe things have changed since then anyway that’s what the Kids are always telling me. Ps. It always helps to start hunting where there’s has been a sighting or a cougar kill.
